Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Pinterest Inspired

It's always been fun to browse thru Pinterest, looking at the endless ideas and inspirational images that are out there. Our designers always enjoy taking whatever image we provide them, and using it in whatever way inspires them the most as they work on their projects. It's amazing to see how many different ideas and designs can be inspired by just one image.

“So Not FUN”, by Wendy Antenucci.

My layout “So Not FUN” took inspiration from a few pieces of the Pinterest image. First up, COLOR. I chose to start my page on a kraft background inspired by the bag. I then used orange, polka dots, black/white to continue with the color scheme of the image. Secondly, DESIGN. My design idea came from the strips that were on the baggies and that they overlapped each other. And thirdly, the round center image. I chose to highlight my son as the focus of this project. I added foam adhesive to his face which I punched out with my circle punch that then nestled perfectly into the scallop sticker. I love to fussy cut and words are my favorite so I chose a few words that my son might have said on his first roller coaster to make my title. A few stickers to emphasize my story were the finishing touches to my scary, but not Halloween layout.
